To ask if I was being weird?

One of those memories came up on Facebook of me and some friends at a hen party. Shared it and tagged friends but one had deleted me so I put 'unfortunately I can't tag 'anna' as she has deleted me.'

Then I got an irate message from Anna telling me why she deleted me and to take down my status at once did I do something wrong?

Tad passive aggressive OP. If you have a problem sort it out in private.

imNew1985 · 06/04/2017 22:38

Why did you have to say she's deleted you? Just don't tag her. Childish from both of you really. People can delete whoever they want. Stupid Facebook anyway!

GeillisTheWitch · 06/04/2017 22:38

Yeah the "I can't tag Anna because she has deleted me" was weird and comes across as drama seeking.

GeillisTheWitch · 06/04/2017 22:39

Why did she say she deleted you, just out of curiosity?

Chloe84 · 06/04/2017 22:39

Why did she delete you?

Cocklodger · 06/04/2017 22:39

Yep, weird, seems to be seeking a bit of drama. Not something that needed saying

Jengnr · 06/04/2017 22:39

Why did she delete you? Unless I'm missing something huge it seems like a bit of an over reaction but it probably wasn't worth mentioning in the first place. YABBU!

She deleted me because she didn't like me statuses about brexit Hmm

Not weird, just more open than is the usual ettiquette on there. Could be passive aggressive from her point of view, although if she was trading on deleting you without anyone knowing, it's more like you called her on it & she felt embarrassed?

I hate the delete thing as then the 'people you might know' function then pops up with them and it's really awkward sometimes! Not just if they were having a friends clear out etc, but if they were doing it to be mean or make a point, that kind of negative social stuff... ugh, I hate all that stuff!

HarryPottersMagicWand · 06/04/2017 22:45

It does seem a tad PA.

What exactly did you say about Brexit? Everyone is entitled to their opinion even if we don't agree.

Scholes34 · 06/04/2017 22:47

Yes, you were being weird.

Scholes34 · 06/04/2017 22:48

Bexit is a subject best not discussed. It's too devisive.

VimFuego101 · 06/04/2017 22:48

You sound very childish TBH.

Dogivemeabreak · 06/04/2017 22:49

Wow. 12 year olds go to hen parties.

AmysTiara · 06/04/2017 22:50

Yep it was weird to say she's deleted you

Lewwat · 06/04/2017 22:50

Totally disagree! Fuck her! She deleted you.... But doesn't want everyone knowing that she did.

Oh well

God job she's not your friend anymore.... And can't dictate what you write on fb

RiversrunWoodville · 06/04/2017 22:53

Probably a stupid question but how did she know about the post if she deleted you?

Itaintme · 06/04/2017 22:55

Grow up.

Fruitcocktail6 · 06/04/2017 22:55

Passive aggressive and childish, are you still at school?

RedheadLover · 06/04/2017 22:55

Yes, you might honestly not realise it but what you did is definitely not the done thing on Facebook and would have come across as weird.

TomaytoTomahto · 06/04/2017 22:56

It's her Facebook she can delete whomever she wishes. Your "unfortunately I can't tag 'anna' as she has deleted me." statement sounds a bit childish and bitter TBH.

PoorYorick · 06/04/2017 23:02

Yes, it was PA and non-quirky, non-idiosyncratic weird. If I realise someone's unfriended me and hasn't told me why, I just leave it. 99% of the time we hadn't met or spoken in ten years anyway, which is a good enough reason.

PoorYorick · 06/04/2017 23:03

Riversrun, I expect Anna saw it on her feed because OP had tagged mutual friends.

JonesyAndTheSalad · 06/04/2017 23:04

Yes. Weird.

ShoesHaveSouls · 06/04/2017 23:04

Why would you even do that?

Are you brexit or remain?
